Admiral Bar owner Dave Ross, a former DJ and veteran of Glasgow's club and nightlife scene, had been planning for some time to mark Bowie's 70th - even before he passed away.

Now he and several other well known Glasgow DJs, including Gerry Lyons, Robert Winning, Hugh Haggerty and Mark Horn, will host a full night dedicated to the star on January 7, the weekend of his birthday.

"This is a sincere tribute, a free event, that will initially in the bar," explained Dave. "If demand dictates we may move it to the club downstairs. "The event is free, a donation bucket for a cancer charity will be available, but there's no pressure.

"Mark have held Bowie nights in the past. We discussed this idea a long time ago and this is not a cash in. We just want to mark the occasion. For me personally, Bowie was the only reason I got into music."

At the moment, the night is pencilled in for an 8pm start with a 1am finish although that could also change if it's moved downstairs to the club space.

"Once we are up and running we'll provide more info," said Dave. "We're looking for other DJs to volunteer and no good idea will be rejected. Please Share, this will be a great event, tears and all. I hope you can make it."
